YUM-O! |
For the cupcakes
- 8 ounces cream cheese, softened
- 1/4 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 2 cups powdered sugar
- 1/4 tsp vanilla extract
- 1/4 tsp pumpkin pie spice
Preheat
oven to 350 degrees. Line 24 cupcake cups with paper liners. Sift the flour, cocoa, baking powder, baking soda
& salt together; set aside. In a separate bowl, stir together the
yogurt, pumpkin, vinegar, & vanilla extract, set aside.
In
a large mixing bowl, beat butter & sugar until light & fluffy.
Beat in the eggs, one at a time. Alternately beat in the flour &
pumpkin mixtures in thirds. Fold in the mini chocolate chips. Spoon
batter into cupcake cups, filling each about 3/4 full. Place cupcake
pans in the center of the preheated 350 degree oven & bake
approximately 25 minutes.
While
cupcakes are cooling, prepare cream cheese frosting. In a medium bowl,
beat together cream cheese, butter, powdered sugar, vanilla, cinnamon,
& nutmeg. If the frosting is too soft, chill in fridge for 15-20
minutes before frosting the cupcakes. When cupcakes are completely cool,
spread with frosting.
